• COVID19
• Climate change: Water sustainability, Energy sustainability, Disaster
Resiliency
Step 2: Look at sub issues in selected topical areas
• Emergency Communications, Remote Education, Community
Cooperation
• Finding a Shelter or Rental Housing After a Disaster, Water
contamination, Mental Health Issues, etc.
Step 3: Examine where in the process/cycle of the issue do you want your
solution to focus
• Before issue occurs or after (days, weeks-months, months-years)
Step 4: How do you want your solution to address the issue
• Prevention, Mitigation, Response, Recovery
• Note there is a relationship between Steps 3 & 4
Step 5: White board the solution at a high level
• Focus on User needs
• Basic Flow
